The "Best" Diet or Workout? Here's the Real Answer.
Wondering what the best diet or workout is for energy, weight loss, or feeling better overall? The truth is—it depends. Here’s how to stop chasing trends and find what actually works for you.
Let’s get one thing straight: there is no magical, perfect, influencer-approved plan that works for everyone.
If you’ve been bouncing between keto, intermittent fasting, HIIT, and whatever that chick on TikTok swears by—and still feel tired, bloated, or frustrated—you’re not failing. You’re just following advice that wasn’t made for your life, your body, or your reality.
Here’s the truth about figuring
out the best plan—for YOU.
Why One-Size-Fits-All Plans Don’t Work
Spoiler alert: what works for your bestie or your favorite influencer might totally flop for you.
Because your body? It’s not a trend. It’s not a 3 day detox or 21 day challenge. And it sure as hell doesn’t care what an influencer is pushing this week.
Your goals, history, energy, stress, digestion, schedule, and preferences all matter.
So instead of chasing the latest “best,” try asking: what actually feels good and is doable in real life?
Food That Actually Fuels You (Without the Drama)
Let’s not overcomplicate this. Supporting your body with food comes down to:
Balanced blood sugar (protein, fiber, fat—every meal, every time)
Real food most of the time (yes, you can still have fun)
Anti-inflammatory basics: think color, plants, and healthy fats
Want to try something like intermittent fasting? Cool—as long as you’re not starving, stressed, and ignoring your body’s signals just to "follow the rules."
Restrictive doesn’t equal effective. And let’s be honest—if it makes you miserable, you won’t stick with it.
What About Workouts?
Here’s the deal: more isn’t always better.
If you’re working out like it’s your job but still feel exhausted, it might be time to dial it back or change things up..
Here’s a place to start:
Lift heavy things 2–4x/week—muscle is your metabolism machine
Walk more—it’s underrated and overdelivers
Don’t punish yourself with exercise—movement should support you and your life
Your workout shouldn’t leave you wrecked. A little soreness is ok, that’s the sign of a good challenge. It should leave you feeling strong, clear-headed, and energized.
So… What’s “Best” Then?
The best plan is the one that:
Works with your schedule
Supports your body’s current needs
You can actually stick with
Doesn’t feel like a full-time job
